Chapter 261: Seeing Fan Tian Shi Fan Again

The young official's surname was Wu, and he was a clerk. He came to the inn early in the morning and took Lin Jue and the three to their residence.

On the way, they passed an office, which looked like a large courtyard, and also like a temple. On the door plaque were written the three large characters "Ju Xian Fu" in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style.

"This is the office of the Ju Xian Fu, but because the Ju Xian Fu has many strange people and scholars and famous Daoist monks, they are used to being idle, so they almost don't need to come here. In the past, this was a prince's mansion. Now there are many residential houses inside, like the guest halls of Daoist temples and monk courtyards, for some strange people and scholars and famous Daoist monks to settle down."

Clerk Wu said to Lin Jue:

"If the Daoist has any needs, you can come here to find someone. You can also come here to find someone to play with when you have nothing to do. If you don't want to come, you don't need to come."

"Many thanks."

"Now the mansion where Fan Tian Shi Fan and Lord Pan live is next door, only separated by a wall. Of course, from today on, it will be the Daoist living with Fan Tian Shi Fan and Lord Pan," Clerk Wu said to him. "But it is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people, so it won't be crowded."

Clerk Wu was vaguely looking forward to it.

Yesterday he went to inform Fan Tian Shi Fan and Lord Pan, and also had the intention of probing their tone. Although he didn't find Lord Pan, he saw Fan Tian Shi Fan.

For this new neighbor, Fan Tian Shi Fan didn't mind.

But Clerk Wu grew up in the capital. Ten years ago, he had heard of Fan Tian Shi Fan's great name. Since Fan Tian Shi Fan came to the capital to join the Ju Xian Fu a few years ago, he had been hearing about his deeds, and he knew clearly that the three characters "Fan Tian Shi Fan" indeed had the effect of scaring away demons in the capital and even the north of Qinzhou.

This Daoist could eliminate that Long Wang, naturally he had immortal ability, but wasn't Fan Tian Shi Fan the same?

A few months ago, after Fan Tian Shi Fan heard about the yaoguai king in Runze County in the capital, he also immediately decided to eliminate the demon, and this Daoist was three people eliminating the demon together. Fan Tian Shi Fan was almost alone. Those forbidden troops he brought looked majestic, but everyone knew, how could they deal with a yaoguai king?

It's just that Fan Tian Shi Fan ran for nothing.

From this, it can be seen that Fan Tian Shi Fan is not afraid of that yaoguai king, and even his ability is likely to be better.

Clerk Wu really wanted to see what the scene would be like when this Daoist, who was unmoved after hearing Fan Tian Shi Fan's great name, really saw Fan Tian Shi Fan.

Soon they walked to the gate of the mansion.

Lord Pan and yesterday were not in the mansion.

Only Fan Tian Shi Fan was still in the mansion.

But just as they arrived at the gate, they saw Fan Tian Shi Fan standing by the door with his only old servant, waving and welcoming guests with a smile.

"Daoist friend..."

Fan Tian Shi Fan was radiant and bowed first.

This made Clerk Wu stunned for a moment—

Although Fan Tian Shi Fan is kind-hearted and willing to help others, his vision is also extremely high. On weekdays, he is always in a light and breezy manner, rarely chatting with people, and rarely so enthusiastic about people.

Even that Lord Pan didn't have this treatment before, right?

? ￠o

But he saw Fan Tian Shi Fan step forward quickly:

"Yesterday I heard that the Daoist friend was coming, and I was very happy. I even asked someone to send a few good dishes to entertain the Daoist friend! Daoist friend, please come in!"

"Fan Tian Shi Fan is compassionate," Lin Jue also laughed. "From now on, we are neighbors living in the same place."

"Very fortunate, very fortunate."

Fan Tian Shi Fan welcomed him in, but immediately looked at Clerk Wu who was about to follow him in, still smiling:

"Clerk is always busy, so just send him here. I will entertain Daoist Friend Lin myself."

"This..." Clerk Wu was stunned, but didn't dare to refuse. "This official still has some things that haven't been explained to the Daoist."

"Then say it quickly."

"This is the Daoist's name tag," Clerk Wu took out a tag and handed it to Lin Jue. "If the Daoist has anything to do, you can hold the token to the office of the Ju Xian Fu, or you can go to the Ministry of Rites."

"Many thanks."

Lin Jue took a look. It was a rosewood tag, made quite small and delicate. On one side were the three characters "Ju Xian Fu", and on the other side were the five characters "Daoist Lin Fangjue". There was a leather belt tied to it, which could be hung on the body. Because it was oiled, it looked quite shiny.

"Why is it a wood tag?" Fan Tian Shi Fan spoke up. "Daoist Friend Lin eliminated one of the yaoguai kings in Qinzhou. Isn't it worth a gold tag?"

"This..."

Clerk Wu felt it was strange. He rarely saw this side of Fan Tian Shi Fan, and felt it was difficult.

"Go back and mention it to Vice Minister Zhou, just say that I testify that the Long Wang in Runze County was indeed eliminated by Daoist Friend Lin," Fan Tian Shi Fan said. "Even if that was before affiliating with the Ju Xian Fu, it was also eliminating a great disaster for the people of Qinzhou. Hmm, at least give Daoist Friend Lin a silver tag, so it looks better."

"This official... this official will go back and talk to the Minister."

"I won't make it difficult for you. I will also visit Minister Zhou in a few days to discuss it!"

"Many thanks, Fan Tian Shi Fan!"

Clerk Wu wiped his sweat and said:

"There is one more thing."

"Say it quickly."

"It is that in a few days, it is said that the Crown Prince will come to the office of the Ju Xian Fu. If Daoist Lin wants to change the name tag to gold or silver, maybe you can go and join the fun, let the Crown Prince see the Daoist's ability. If Daoist Lin doesn't want to spend this effort, you can also go and join the fun. At that time, many strange people and scholars will show their magical abilities there. Anyway, it is all up to Daoist Lin's own decision."

The young official seemed to want to make up for his previous neglect and reverse his image in Lin Jue's eyes, so he made many reminders.

"Many thanks, Clerk." Lin Jue was very interested in those strange people and scholars, "I will definitely be there."

"Okay, okay, such things, I will talk to Daoist Friend Lin myself, so don't bother the Clerk," Fan Tian Shi Fan continued to smile and urge.

"This official says goodbye."

Clerk Wu wiped his sweat again and then left.

The pressure of getting along with such an immortal high-ranking person is really great, so much so that he can't breathe now.

Until he walked more than ten steps, walked past the corner, and a cold wind blew, and when it touched the sweat, it made him shiver, and then he felt much more comfortable, and felt a sense of relief.

But after he calmed down, he felt a bit strange.

This Fan Tian Shi Fan is really friendly and hospitable...

But why does it seem that there is a hint of flattery?

Clerk Wu shook his head repeatedly.

It must be an illusion.

It's just that Fan Tian Shi Fan is hospitable.

At the same time, after the official left, Fan Tian Shi Fan welcomed Lin Jue into the door. After the old servant behind him closed the door, he also immediately raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face.

Then he bowed to Lin Jue, his junior sister, the white fox, and even the martial artist and the colored cat behind him.

For him, this Daoist friend is not only a high-ranking cultivator who can really eliminate yaoguai, but more importantly, this is a high-ranking person who knows his background.

"Haha, Daoist friend, that Ju Xian Fu name tag is useless, but I can guess that Daoist friend came to the Ju Xian Fu, definitely wanting to go to the Sutra Pavilion to check the ancient books left by predecessors. The only use of this wood tag is to enter the Sutra Pavilion," Fan Tian Shi Fan said with a dry laugh. "I hope it will be of some help to the Daoist friend."

"Many thanks, Daoist friend."

Lin Jue still smiled and said.

And he could naturally hear that this was Fan Tian Shi Fan releasing friendliness to him, or it could be said to be flattery, and the purpose was naturally very clear—

Please don't expose him.

Lin Jue didn't have this plan for the time being.

After all, he hadn't seen him use this to harm people, and he had places where he could use him in this capital.

"This place was originally a mansion built by a high official. It covers a wide area. There are several courtyards inside, and a lake. I live in the innermost courtyard. There is also a Lord Pan, who has a bad temper and usually lives in the courtyard on the far right, but he is rarely seen. The courtyard on the left is for the Daoist friend," Fan Tian Shi Fan led the way himself, so polite that the old servant beside him felt strange. "I will take the Daoist friends there first, and then introduce this mansion to the Daoist friends."

"Good."

"Please this way."

All three looked inside.

It is worthy of being the mansion of a first-rank official. They only saw layers of courtyards, round doors framing the scenery. After passing through several layers, they saw a small lake. There were stone tables and chairs by the lake, pine trees and rockeries, and a long corridor. Walking along the long corridor by the lake, and passing a round door, they arrived in front of a small courtyard.

The courtyard is not big. There is a tree in the middle, which seems to have flowers, and there are stone tables and chairs beside it. There is green grass on the ground, and stone bricks are paved as a path.

"Although this courtyard is small, it also has a main hall, four empty rooms, and a dark room. The dark room can store sundries, can be used as a kitchen, and there is a loft beside it that can be used," Fan Tian Shi Fan said. "However, the mansion has been haunted by foxes in the past year. The foxes seem to live in this uninhabited courtyard, and sometimes run outside to play. But I think the Daoist friend is not afraid of these."

"Haunted by foxes?"

Lin Jue scanned the surroundings.

This courtyard seems to have not been lived in for a long time, but there are no fallen leaves on the ground, and no dust accumulation.

I don't know if the foxes are cleaning, or if this Fan Tian Shi Fan cleaned it up in advance after hearing that he was coming yesterday.

"There are too many places haunted by foxes in the capital. I don't know what they are or where they came from. Most of them live in the lofts where some families store things. Those families are also used to it. As long as the foxes don't make trouble or hurt people, they share the lofts with them, and don't report to the government or invite monks, Daoists, or wizards. Even some scholars regard it as a romantic and elegant thing. Even if guests come, they only remind them not to be afraid and not to disturb them."

Fan Tian Shi Fan paused:

"That Lord Pan often says that he wants to find a way to drive the foxes in this mansion away."

"Fan Tian Shi Fan is not afraid either?"

"Haha! I have been walking in Qinzhou, and there are only yaoguai and ghosts who are afraid of me, and there are no yaoguai and ghosts who are afraid of me!" Fan Tian Shi Fan said, the whole person has a bit of bearing, but suddenly reacted, standing in front of this Daoist friend, the momentum is three points weaker.

But it is only three points weaker.

Still retains a bit of Fan Tian Shi style.

"Good! Luo Gong and I will live here! These foxes here, just treat it as having a companion."

Lin Jue saw him like this, and understood that this person is probably pretending to be a Fan Tian Shi even when sleeping.

No wonder he can deceive yaoguai and ghosts.

As for the foxes here, even Fan Tian Shi Fan is not afraid, and ordinary people are not afraid, so Lin Jue naturally has no reason to be afraid.

"So the Daoist friend's protector is surnamed Luo," Fan Tian Shi Fan laughed, and was curious, "Hey, why does Luo Gong always cover his face with a bamboo hat?"

"Luo has some inconveniences..."

Luo Seng said, directly took off his bamboo hat, and looked directly at this Fan Tian Shi Fan.

"?"

Fan Tian Shi Fan's heart shook again.

If there is anyone in the capital who knows his background, it is this Luo Gong who has superb martial arts and is not afraid of yaoguai, ghosts, or gods—previously he served as the County Commandant of Changning County in the capital, and he vaguely saw through him. He is also one of the few people who can see through his background.

Didn't expect...

"Hehe, so it is Luo Gong." Fan Tian Shi Fan's expression remained unchanged, "Luo Gong, please rest assured, I know Luo Gong is a great hero. Luo Gong is in this mansion, just avoid that Lord Pan."

"You are not surprised?"

"A bit surprised." Fan Tian Shi Fan was calm and composed, "But thinking about it, how many martial artists in the world can eliminate yaoguai kings with two Daoist friends?"

"Hmph..."

Luo Seng sneered, threw the bamboo hat to the side, and it flew out spinning and hung on the branch of the weeping crabapple tree.

"Luo Gong, please choose a room first," Lin Jue said. "Xiao Xiao Shimei, you can also choose one. You can live here when you come to the capital for the market in the future."

"Good!"

His junior sister chose the smallest one.

Luo Gong also chose one at random.

There were two rooms left, and only one had a bed, so Lin Jue had no choice. The remaining one would be used as a tea room and quiet room.
